Nicolas Ghesquière apparently received either a message from god, an internal memo or had an epiphany and realized that clothes have to sell! The message is clear that this may be one of the most commercial collections that Ghesquière has ever done for Louis Vuitton and I might add it is rather refreshing not to be wondering who or why these clothes would be bought let alone worn.

It is also a breath of fresh air to see clothes that don’t require an instruction manual; they are pretty straight forward and would have really been even more appealing and effective had the girls not looked so pissed off.

Lots of separates meaning skirts, jackets, blouses, coats and even some dresses which were beautifully executed, the tiered capelet effect is a common thread that runs throughout as well as that sort of medieval shoulder harness or brace.

If there is one thing that might have been left “on the cutting room floor” it might have been that extra wide laced up corselet belt which didn’t exactly do much for any exit where it was used. For someone who usually tends to do tricked out complicated clothes, Ghesquière proves he can actually design clothes for real people and not just victims of fashion or from some alien fashion cult. In a way this is a minimalist collection chez Vuitton.

It occurs to me that had some of his peers received the same communications, the entire season might have been a stellar one that produced clothes that retailers can actually sell.
